BRIDGEPORT.

The thirteenth annual commencement of the
Bridgeport High School was held in the Nam
moth rink on last Thursday evening, large
and well-pleased audience being present. The
exercises we're unusually interesting, indicating
careful training and close and thoughtful sp-
plicstion. In nothing concerning Bridgeport's
history have we reason for greater pride than
in our public schools. Ably and diligently
supervised by Supt. Duncan, while all the de-
tails are most efficiently guarded and faithfully
executed by an intelligent corps of teachers,
render our school organizations in which all
should feel a laudible pride. To briefly par
ticularize: Rev. c. G. Hays prayed; Harry
Cooke declared on patriotism; Emmett W.
Tuttle told of visit Of city girl to the country;
John Kuhn grated on the use and abuse of
wealth; Miss Mamie Robinson pleased all with
past and present These were junior exer-
cises. There were. three young lady graduates.
Miss Ella Franzsll's subject was The Hearth
stone;;' Miss Maud Hainss' was The Two
Graves of st. Helena Miss Maggie q. Clay
lands essay was on Mirages-all of which we're
very creditable performances and elected the
heartiest concentrations. The diplomas were
presented by Geo. Mckee. Kramer's orchestra
furnished music and contributed to the enjoya-
bic success Of the commencement exercises.
The gas again failed the 4Etna and Standard
mills on Tuesday. Bursted pipes somewhere
is the alleged cause.
Old Mother Debold, of Etnaville, after a
long period of weakness incident to repeated
attacks of bleeding at the nose, died on SaO
bath morning last.
A social, under the auspices Of the Ladies'
Aid Society, of the Presbyterian church, was
quite a success on Tuesday evening.

Practical Farmers Meeting.

EDITOR CHRONICLE-Through the
courtesy of Calvin Pollock. Esq. your
correspondent in company with some
st. Clsirsville friends attended the June
meeting of the Practical Farmers Club
which assembled in that gentleman q
hospitable home, near Lafferty station,
on Saturday last.
At p %. the meeting was called to
order by Prss't Shepherd, when "The
relative advantage of city and country
life" was opened by Mrs. Miner. and
briefly discussed by all the ladies and
many of the gentleman present.
The discussion revealed the fact that
| many of the so-called burdens imposed
upon farmers wives were willingly as
| sumed, by some whose circumstances
| would have afforded them relief had not
their incliuations prompted them to
perform the work. Others again thought
that much of the poetry of farming be-
came the dullest prose by unremitting
work-these inveighed against the in
justice of furnishing the latest improve.
ments in machinery for the farm, while
Deglecting to furnish lsbor-saving appli-
ances for the home. The discussion
provoked some good -natured raillery at
the expense of the gentlemen present.
The best time and mode of cutting
and curing hay was then opened by
Nathan Nichols, in q practical talk
abounding in good suggestions Mr..
Nichols, it seems, cuts from 100 to $50
acres annually, and consequently has
large experience.
The question fairly opened the Club
resolved itself into an experience meet-
ing, all the gentlemen present psrtici>
pating. Messrs. Thompson, Atkinson.
Lodge. Hogae, Miner Shepherd and
Pollock advocating early cutting and
speedy work in order to store away tho
winters provender before the stems
were woody and seed ripe. Glover hay
could be successfully cured when COM
paratively greenland if cut when the
dew was off and teddered. might be
stored 10 the NOW with safety the same
day. II put away dry no danger Of
mould or mow-burning would be expe>
rienced. For the best results timothy
hay should be cut when In bloom. and
extra help employed if necessary to save
the crop before it became too ripe.
Altogether the occasion was one long
to be remembered. The fertile valley |
In which Mr.. POllOck's beautiful home |
is located was smiling that day with |
luxuriant crops. The rains of the pre-. |
yious week impaired a greeper tint to |
the foliage and richer fragrance to the |
flowers, and as the guests wandered over
the trim lawn and well kept surround
ings of their host, their eyes feasted
upon landscape of unrivalled beauty
the garden spot of Belmont county.
At p. N. the large company sat
down to tables groaning beneath the
weight of good things; it was truly a
feast of reason and flow of SOUL"
All the delioacies of the season we're
supplied, and fruit out of
season surprised the assembled guests.
After witnessing a practical demon
stration of labor-saving in the form of
churn, operated by dog power, the MEM
bers of the club and their good wives
departed to their several
homes. A. T. NJ.

SUCCESSFUL COMMENCEMENT.

The fourteenth annual commencement
exercises of the st. Clalrsville High
School, were held on Thursday night In
School Hall, which was we'll filled with
the friends of the graduates. The stage
was handsomely decorated with pict~
ures and flowers, while overhead and in
front, hung a wreath of evergreen bear
ing in its center the motto of the class
know Thyself." While the class of
1887 numbered but two persons. Miss
Bessie Hewetson and w. I. McKelvey,
and the exercises were necessarily
brief. their performances we're of such a
character as to elicit the closest atten'
tioD. The following program was ren>
deTed: Song by the School, "Wnen the
Mists Have Rolled Away" Essay,
Atoms" Bessie Hewetson; Grafton,
"rhe Tower of London, w. L. Mckel~
vey; Song, Those Evening Bells. School
Annual address and presentation of di>
plomas, by Rev. Robert Alexander; Song,
Good Night by the School. The es>
say of Miss Hewetson on Atoms" was
thoughtful production, and the subject
was treated admirably. 1t was read in
pleasing manner. and altogether the
writer acquitted herself well.
The Tower of London" an oration
by w. I. Mckelvey, was highly original
and well composed. The speaker traced
the various civilizations down TO the
period when the Tower was built, and
insisted that the civilization of that
time WAS higher and better than that of
any former period. The Grafton was
well received. At the close of their
parts, the performers were ladened with
a wealth of bouquets, bestowed by ap-
preciative friends. Both the instrumen-
tai and vocal music, we're under the
direction of Prof SchOtield. of Martins
Ferry. The exercises were of most
character. and justly caused
the patrons of the school in attendance
to feel an increased pride in their school,
which has for many years maintained a
high reputation. A pleasant banquet
was given in honor Of the graduates the
evening.

A FRIaHTFUL accident occurred on
the B.. 2. & G. on Saturday evening, but
which, fortunately, did not result in the
loss of life. AS the east bound local
freight, with passenger coach attach
ed, containing about twenty passengers,
a number Of them ladies, was climbing
the steep grade just beyond Kelsey's
station, the train broke in two, and d
freight car and the coach went dashing
down the grade at terrific speed. When
the brakes were applied the chains
snapped and the coach, with almsst the
velocity of lightning, darted along the
track of steel, until it reached a sharp
curve in the road where there was
small embankment, where IL jumped the
rails and turned over on its side, sliding
along upon the ground for a considera-
ble distance A little distance further
down the grade the runaway cars would
have struck the high curved trestle, and
the result would in all probability have
been an appalling loss of life. As 1t was,
the carwas almost Totally destroyed, W bile
the occupants escaped with little injury,
no one being seriously hurt. There were
two bridal parties On board, ,one of whom
was the conductor of the train and bride.
1t is related that upon his arrival at
Bellaire he Immediately rendered his re-
remarking that he wanted to
become On angel on lighter grade.

MEETING OF THE COMMITTEE.

The County Republican Central Com
mittee meets at st. Clairsville to-day
(Thursday5 An organization will be
effected, and the matter of calling a
county convention considered.
The state convention meets July 81.
Ii the county convention is held prior
to that time, the delegates from this
county to that convention can be chosen
at that time. If not, they must be chOs-
eu by the County Committee.
1t has always been deemed advisable,
when possible to do so, to have the dele
gates to conventions chosen by the
people, as represented in their conven
tions, instead of by committees. The
impression prevails to some extent that
this should be done this year. True, the
election will be four months off at the
time the convention will be held, but
the campaign need not be opened until
September, nor any Inconvenience result
from having a ticket in the field. The
state convention ought not to have been
called to meet until about the middle of
September, and We hope in the future
will not be.

AN EQUINE MONSTRoSITY.

A mare belonging to A. T. McKelvey
on Friday night gave birth to colt
which was a curious monstrosity, and
which attracted hundreds of visitors.
The body and legs of the colt were per-
feet, but its head was all out of shape
the center of the head, and was without
nostrils OF upper jaw. The lower jaw
was curved upward and then there was
hole in the upturned portion which
served as mouti and through which it
took nourishment. The absence of nos
trils made breathing difficult. It lived
until Saturday morning. The skin has
been taken from the head, and will be
stuffed as curiosity in its way.
